Abstract
7-Hydroxy-3-carboxycoumarin is prepared by a one-pot consecutive process, carried out in water, starting from 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and malononitrile. The procedure highlights the advantages of using an aqueous medium, particularly the possibility of controlling the pH and isolating the reaction product without using any organic solvent.

Instructions for the students, notes for the instructor, and interpretation of the TLC plates and IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectra are available.
